Men of Ogun State Police Command say they, on the 5th of February 2021, apprehended 10 suspected cultists, who have been using dangerous weapons to terrorize and dispossess members of the public of their belongings.

The State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, made this known in a statement he sent to The DEFENDER on Thursday.

The suspects, according to DSP Oyeyemi, were; Moses Johnson, Chinedu Okechukwu, Oka James, Mathew John, Moses David, Fuhad Sulaimon, Joseph Emmanuel, Stephen Samuel, Ozon Austin and Ope Taiwo.

They were arrested following a complaint lodged at Ogijo Divisional Headquarters by one Olaojo Emmanuel, who reported that on the 4th of February 2021 he and his wife were attacked in the area by a group of men at about 9:30pm and dispossessed of his i-Phone 7 plus valued at N130,000.00 at gun point.

“He stated further that he sighted some of those people who robbed him at Ita Oluwo area of Ogijo. On the strength of his report, the DPO Ogijo division CSP Muhammed S. Baba mobilized his men and moved to the scene where ten of the hoodlums were apprehended.

“The complainant and other victims of their atrocities have come forward to identify them as those who robbed them at different times,” the Ogun State Police Spokesman said.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Edward Awolowo Ajogun, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) for discreet investigation and diligent prosecution.
